IHOP, the place where countless late-night breakfast memories have been made, has announced a rather unexpected change.

The International House of Pancakes is no more. Out with the hotcakes and in with the burgers. IHOP announced Monday that it will now be known as IHOb, The International House of Burgers. Yes, burgers!

The California-based chain sent the internet into a tizzy after announcing that it would be changing its name last week. Twitter users spent days trying to guess what the “b” was going to stand for. A Twitter poll showed that most folks believed the “b” was for bacon.

“We’re flippin’ from pancakes, pancakes, pancakes to burgers, burgers, burgers,” the chain announced on its Facebook page.

For folks worried about missing their hotcakes, now-IHOb President Darren Rebelez says not to worry.

“We’re always going to have pancakes on the menu, we’re always going to be IHOP,” Rebelez told Fox News. “But America loves burgers, and America loves IHOP and we thought this was a fantastic combination to bring America’s burgers to an iconic brand like IHOP.”

At this point, it’s unclear how long the name change will be in effect. The company’s flagship location in Los Angeles will be the only one re-branded as IHOb. All of its other locations across the country will maintain the name IHOP, but will feature its new line of burgers.
